For installing OCR engine do the following

use homebrew to install tessecrat first, this installs english and two other languages that I don't remember.

brew install tesseract-lang

Then I've the path is which depends on the version of course

/opt/homebrew/Cellar/tesseract/4.1.1

The second requirement is installing pdftoppm which comes with poppler package and can be done on two steps

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)" < /dev/null 2> /dev/null

then install brew install poppler

The path in my mac machine is

/opt/homebrew/Cellar/poppler/21.01.0/bin

which also depends on poppler version
